If you've ever wanted to be a real-life Windy Miller - just like in classic children's TV show Camberwick Green - here's your opportunity, as Britain's oldest working windmill is up for sale.

And at £800,000, it's a knockdown price compared to 2014, when it came on the market at £899,999.

Grade I-listed Outwood Mill dates back to a year before the Great Fire of London and is set in the grounds of a three-bedroom house in the Surrey village of Outwood - and it's still capable of milling corn.

The 352-year-old mill stands 39ft high, with sails measuring 60ft across, and can still be operated by one person thanks to the remarkable craftsmanship that went into building it.

To this day, Outwood Mill can be operated by one person thanks to the remarkable craftsmanship that went into building it

It was constructed for miller Thomas Budgen, who lived in the neighbouring village of Nutfield and was an ancestor of the family which set up the Budgens supermarket chain.

'This 17th century historic landmark offers the opportunity to benefit from your own cottage industry, inviting enthusiasts to experience the intricacies of this wonderful piece of history,' said Robert Leech Estate Agents.

'The former stable block has been lovingly refurbished to a high standard to include three bedrooms and spacious open-plan living accommodation.

'The grounds include England's oldest working postmill, which has until recently been open to the public.

'There is a business opportunity to rekindle and enhance this cottage industry, potentially incorporating a tea room which is understood to be supported by the local authority, along with tours of the windmill... and with a little knowledge, one would be able to make one's own flour.

'The grounds also include a barn-style double garage with separate power and water supply, off-road parking for a number of vehicles, a ticket office, a large pond and children's play area.

When the mill was last marketed in 2014, it had a price tag of £899,999, so today's guide price of £800,000 is a considerable drop.

When it was marketed three years ago, by Howard Cundey estate agents, they said 'The phrase gets bandied around a lot, but this is genuinely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a true slice of British history.

'Outwood Mill is one of the area's most famous landmarks, now protected by a Grade I listing, and a fascinating piece of local history.

'It would make a fantastic venue for weddings and antique fairs, and it's definitely a good talking point.

'Keen bakers could even grind their own flour to make their own unique bread.'

The owners then were often conducting educational tours of the mill to show off the ancient craft of turning corn into bread.

From Great Fire of London to supermarket chain: How Outwood Windmill is steeped in history

In 1796, William Budgen was given permission to put up a second windmill, this one a smock mill (above, circa 1903), which was run by the Budgen family until 1885 when Edward Scot bought the lease for £1,225

Outwood Windmill, a post mill on a single storey roundhouse, was built in 1665 for miller Thomas Budgen, who lived in the nearby village of Nutfield.

He borrowed the money to buy the land and build the mill from his two brothers-in-law and, as being a miller was such a lucrative trade, Budgen was able to pay back his financiers with interest in just two years.

The men who built the mill are said to have watched the Great Fire of London glowing in the distance, some 25 miles away.

In 1678, Budgen was fined £20, worth around £1,700 in today's money, after he was convicted under the Convecticle Act for 'Seditious Preaching'.

Budgen was an ancestor of another John Budgen, who set up the eponymous supermarket chain in 1872.

He died, aged 75, in 1716, and the mill passed to his son John, and then to other family members, before it came into possession of the Jupp family by 1806. They ran it until 1962, when it was bought by brothers Gerald and Raymond Thomas.

In 1796, William Budgen was given permission to put up a second windmill, this one a smock mill, which was run by the Budgen family until 1885 when Edward Scot bought the lease for £1,225.

In 1950, the preservation of the mill was proposed, but a survey later found it was suffering from rot and would cost too much to repair. The mill collapsed in the early hours of November 25, 1960.

By the 1930s, the original mill was little used, and although it had been recognised by the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings in 1929 as being of 'paramount importance', it had started to fall into ruin with plans to restore it delayed by the outbreak of the Second World War.

Extensive repairs were carried out in 1952, and in 1955 a grant of £750 from the Ministry of Works was provided to fund the fitting of a new pair of spring sales, on the condition that the public would be given access to the mill.

On June 12, 1964, the mill was caught in a severe thunderstorm, and only saved when the new owners turned the mill so that the wind was side on to the building.

The mill has four spring sails controlled by elliptical springs, carried on a wooden windshaft with a cast iron poll end. It drives two pairs of millstones, and is winded by tailpole.
